Challenge With big leaks, often our first reaction is to blame the roof. After all, rain comes right down onto the house right? Yes and no. Solution This house in Homer Glen had vertical wood sheet siding. The bottom of one section of the siding buckled out.

Challenge This project had the obstacle of removing damaged sheathing from under the shingles. Having good solid roof sheathing is important. It helps to bear the weight not only of the shingles, but the snow and ice. Sheathing helps redristubute weight more evenly.

You may save money now, but how much will you pay in the long run? The use of subcontractors in the shingle roofing industry is pretty standard. There are three main reasons for this, and each reason impacts the three parties of a roofing project in different ways.

When choosing a new roof for your home, you must take into consideration many factors, including the climate and weather conditions in your area, the desired lifespan of the roof, the cost of roofing materials and your own aesthetic preferences.
